The Gallery at FCTV

Artworks by Anne Torry-Ballou, Denise Leone &amp; Colleen Corson will be displayed at The Gallery at FCTV from July 6 through July 31. A Gallery reception will take place on Sunday, July 12, from 3-5 pm.
Denise Leone began her creative journey by creating mobiles and wind chimes, transforming these coastal treasures into unique, handcrafted pieces. Through mixed media work, she combines her love of nature, appreciation for craftsmanship, and interest in culture and design. Each piece reflects the beauty of Cape Cod, the beaches around the world, and the stories found along its shores, with the hope of inspiring others to see the natural world through art. Of her work, Denise says: “My inspiration comes from living on Cape Cod and from my family’s rich artistic heritage. Surrounded by miles of beautiful beaches, I find endless inspiration in nature. While exploring the shoreline, I collect treasures such as seashells, sea glass, driftwood, and other natural elements that become the foundation of my artwork.”
From childhood, Anne Torry-Ballou wanted to be an artist. Family outings into woods, fields, hills, along streams and rivers, and the shores of several states, instilled a love and respect for nature. Respected art teachers in school taught her to look at the world and notice lights and shadows, color hues and complements, depth and perspective. Early lessons in art history gave her insight into the world of painting, and she was specifically drawn to the work of the French Impressionists.
Working almost exclusively with acrylic paint, with occasional forays into watercolor studies, she uses photographs as references to document placeholders in the development of the work. A chiaroscuro sketch on the canvas is made using burnt and raw sienna, white, and burnt and raw umber. The work is developed to capture light, shadows, color, and energy by applying color in layers of paint and glazes. While her recent work is primarily landscapes and seascapes, she also creates floral paintings and occasionally takes on commissions.
Colleen Corson is a multimedia artist and clothing designer who believes that art shouldn’t just hang on a wall – it should be lived in, moved in, and experienced. Her journey as an artist is rooted in a deep love for texture, color, and storytelling. On canvas, she expresses this through multimedia painting, blending different materials and techniques to create rich, layered visual narratives. As a clothing designer, Colleen views garments as wearable canvases. Her designs are created for those who see fashion as a form of personal expression, blending thoughtful craftsmanship with a modern, artistic aesthetic. “Whether I am manipulating paint on a canvas or fabric on a form, my goal remains the same: to create distinct, authentic pieces that speak to the soul,” says Colleen.

Falmouth Public Library

Welcome to our yearlong series in which “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler”, Heather Rogers, shares facts, factoids, and fun illustrations about the presidents of these United States.
This month, our focus turns to Andrew Jackson: Into dueling (and had a bullet near his heart to prove it). Blamed John Quincy Adams for his wife’s death. Last president to conveniently die at the same place where his funeral was held and he was buried (his swearing parrot was kicked out of his funeral). 
This program will be recorded and is sponsored by the Library Board of Trustees and is in collaboration with Ashland Public Library and a multitude of MA and NH libraries.
To register, <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8417579509947/WN_LMDX0z9MTlePI-nohsRE4Q#/registration" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> or call us at 508-457-2555 x7. Please note that this event is online via Zoom only.

As part of our Community Voices series, we present a free presentation by Robert Silver on “Women in Jazz: A Sampling from the First Hundred Years” on Friday, July 10 at 5 p.m.&nbsp;Free and open to all.
Jazz is quintessential American music recognized and enjoyed around the world. Tracing its origins to the “Talking Drums” of Western Africa to the complexities of numerous composers and performers – women and men, jazz has birthed a wide array of familiar formats including Bebop, Blues, Broadway Musicals, Calypso, Contemporary Symphonic and Opera, Gospel, Rhythm and Blues, Rock &amp; Roll, Scat and Soul.
In this presentation, we will sample contributions of women and men in jazz during the past hundred years; relying upon luminaries including Dorothy Donegan, Ella Fitzgerald, Natalie Cole, Eva Cassidy, Diana Krall, Yoko Miwa, Samara Joy, Christine Fawson, Judy Carmichael, and others (many whose music we have enjoyed in the Falmouth Jazz Festival). In each case, we will explore aspects of the musical and personal lives of these performers and enjoy samplings of their recorded performances.
Our presenter and neighbor, Robert Silver, is a recently retired scientist and professor with more than a half-century in research and teaching, and even longer as a fan of classical, jazz and blues music.

Whether you’re in Woods Hole or halfway around the world, join us for this venerable MBL lecture series.
Lectures are free and open to the public for in-person and virtual attendance.“Carson’s Clarion Call: The Noisy Response to Silent Spring” - Mark&nbsp;Barrow, Virginia Tech

The publication of Silent Spring (1962) generated a firestorm of&nbsp;controversy and helped catalyze the modern environmental movement. Why&nbsp; did Rachel Carson’s critique of modern pesticides have such a&nbsp;far-reaching impact? This lecture argues that its influence grew out of a convergence of Carson’s authority as both scientist and bestselling author, a cultural climate of heightened anxiety about postwar chemical&nbsp;and nuclear technologies, and the aggressive strategies of her critics. A&nbsp;trained biologist and accomplished writer with access to a broad&nbsp;network of scientific experts, Carson offered readers a compelling,&nbsp;accessible synthesis of the risks associated with the postwar embrace of&nbsp;synthetic pesticides. Equally important, Silent Spring appeared at a&nbsp;moment of growing public concern over widely publicized chemical and&nbsp;pharmaceutical safety scandals and radioactive fallout from atmospheric&nbsp;nuclear testing. Finally, the response of Carson’s critics—including&nbsp;chemical companies, economic entomologists, and U.S. Department of&nbsp;Agriculture officials—proved largely counterproductive: their concerted&nbsp;efforts to discredit Carson only amplified her message, ensuring that the reaction to Silent Spring was anything but silent.

















Mark V. Barrow, Jr. is a professor of history at Virginia Tech whose&nbsp;work spans environmental, animal, and American cultural history, as well&nbsp;as the history of biology, natural history, and wildlife conservation. A&nbsp;prizewinning teacher and scholar, he is the author of A Passion for&nbsp;birds: American Ornithology after Audubon (Princeton University Press,&nbsp;1998), Nature's Ghosts: Confronting Extinction from the Age of Jefferson&nbsp;to the Age of Ecology (University of Chicago Press, 2009), and Gator!:&nbsp;The Making of America's Iconic Reptile, from First Encounters to Florida&nbsp;Man (University of Chicago Press, forthcoming).
